Thank you Abbey for taking more amazing pictures of us! Here is my favorite picture, you can see the rest by clicking here.

Thankful Thursday

I'm thankful that Jaden and Kaylie love each other and for the most part get along really well.

I'm thankful that there are new episodes of Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice on tonight!

I'm thankful for my sister Megan and her always being willing to watch my kids.

I'm thankful that I've lost 3 inches on my hips! I still have lots of work to do though!

I'm thankful for the new Clinique de puffer eye serum that my mom got for me. It's the coolest thing ever!!!

I'm thankful for the new Arizona immigration law that was just passed. Most of you who live or have lived in Arizona (like me) also think it is awesome because you know exactly how it is to live there with illegal immigrants.

I'm thankful that Jaden went poop on the potty today and did it willingly!

I'm thankful for our health.

I'm thankful that my kids are happy kids. I know quite a few kids that just never seem happy and hardly smile. I love that my kids have fun with pretty much anyone and like to socialize and smile.

I'm thankful for my mom's health and that she is still a young, healthy, energetic, and happy woman, mom and grandma!

Whatever Wednesday

My vacation couldn't come any faster...these next couple of days I may go crazy. Whatever!

It's April 28th and it's snowing. Enough said. Whatever!!!

I'm tired of my kids not going to bed good and not staying asleep all night. I'm thinking of hiring my friend Andrea to help. Her kids are bedtime angels. Whatever!

I'm so sick of fluctuating up and down 3 pounds, can I just lose 15 more pounds already? Whatever!

Why does tanning have to be bad for me? Can I just be mixed like my kids? Whatever!

I'm not a patient person. Don't tell me to be patient. When I want something, I want it. :) Whatever!!!

p.s. I promise for a better, more positive post tomorrow...it's Thankful Thursday!

Kristin's Baby Shower

Saturday was my friend Kristin's baby shower for her little boy that is coming soon! Ashley's husband, Justin was sooo nice to watch my kids as well as Corgan so we could go have fun. I had so much fun being there with my friends and eating good food and playing games. I actually won a game which never happens! We played baby charades, celebrity baby name game (matching the weird baby name to the celeb parent), and the memory game and some other fun ones. Andrea and Corinn did a great job hosting it and making everything look great! Andrea asked if I would cut the 4 loaves of artisan bread because it was so much work. I seriously wondered how it could really be so hard to cut 4 loaves of artisan bread into little pieces. It was sooo hard! My arms and hands were so sore. If you don't believe me, go try it. :)
Here are some pictures.....

Kristin and her daughter Isabelle - don't you just love Kristin's cute belly?!

I LOVE these girls and am sooo grateful for their friendship and support.
